My head is spinning...

As I said in my post on Thursday...we have been making good progress in Lithuania. We just received a letter (yesterday) from the Adoption Services stating that they commit/consent to giving us a referral to adopt Justina!!! I had to send our letter of intent to them yesterday, and now the next thing we will get from Lithuania will be the referral paperwork.
Again, my head is spinning...I can't believe how close we really are to traveling to see Justina. Even with some bumps in the road we are so close to her. Keep your fingers crossed and the prayers coming that the last leg of the process will go smooth. We shall keep you posted.

Good Progress

Well, since receiving our INS approval we have made some progress in Lithuania. They were able to translate the INS approval very quickly. From there our information was forwarded to Adoption Services to be registered. It is my understanding that once we receive our registration confirmation the next step should be the official referral of Justina. We will have 30 days to respond back with our decision. Of course, I don't plan on taking 30 days to make that decision! After we settle all the referral details our attorney will be able to get a court date scheduled for us. At that point we should be told as to when Sean and I need to arrive in Lithuania. I can't believe that we are so close to traveling. I truely hope to make a trip to Lithuania with in 2-3 months. Keep saying prayers that the last leg of this process will go quick and smooth! I hope to have even more updates to report soon.
